Agenda of the 5th NENA Soil Partnership meetingFAO
The Fifth meeting of the Near East and North African (NENA) Soil Partnership will take place from 1-2 April 2019 in Cairo, Egypt. The objectives of the meeting are to consolidate the NENA Soil Partnership, review the work plan, organize activities to establish National Soil Information Systems, agree to launch a Regional Soil Laboratory for NENA, and strengthen networking. The meeting agenda includes discussions on soil information systems, a soil laboratory network, and implementing the Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management. The performance of the NENA Soil Partnership will also be assessed and future strategies developed.
This document summarizes the proceedings of the first meeting of the Global Soil Laboratory Network (GLOSOLAN). GLOSOLAN was established to harmonize soil analysis methods and strengthen the performance of laboratories through standardized protocols. The meeting discussed the role of National Reference Laboratories in promoting harmonization, and how GLOSOLAN is structured with regional networks feeding into the global network. Progress made in 2018 included registering over 200 laboratories, assessing capacities and needs, and establishing regional networks. The work plan for 2019 includes further developing regional networks, standard methods, a best practice manual, and the first global proficiency testing. The document concludes by outlining next steps to launch the regional network for North Africa and the Near East.
This document discusses several initiatives related to sustainable soil management:
1. The International Code of Conduct for the Sustainable Use and Management of Fertilizers is being developed and will be presented for endorsement in July 2019.
2. A protocol to assess sustainable soil management is being developed by the ITPS to provide guidance on sustainability assessments.
3. A concept note on the economic benefits of sustainable soil management is being refined for submission in June 2019.
4. Next steps include developing best practice databases and case study maps by 2020.
Item 16. GLOSOLAN working group: composition and criteria for joiningFAO
The document outlines information about the GLOSOLAN working group, including its chair and vice-chair. It lists the initial and current members of the working group from various countries. It also describes some issues with member participation and inactivity. Proposals are made to address these problems by requiring expertise information from members, replacing inactive members, restricting membership to those from registered GLOSOLAN labs, and maintaining geographic balance.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
